This humble blog was tagged as possibly being a spam blog. Yep, Google's all-knowing bots determined that this missive may be harmful to the internet, mom and apple pie. Here's an excerpt from their email message:
Your blog will be deleted in 20 days if it isn't reviewed, and your readers will
see a warning page during this time. After we receive your request, we'll review
your blog and unlock it within two business days. Once we have reviewed and
determined your blog is not spam, the blog will be unlocked and the message in
your Blogger dashboard will no longer be displayed. If this blog doesn't belong
to you, you don't have to do anything, and any other blogs you may have won't be
affected.
Investigating the spam issue further, I found this:
What Are Spam Blogs?
As with many powerful tools, blogging services can be both used and abused. The ease of creating and updating webpages with Blogger has made it particularly prone to a form of behavior known as link spamming. Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site.
Hmmm, maybe they had my number after all.
